i live in the sticks ,,dial up is my best option at the present time

Answer 1

Your internal modem should have an option to have you alerted to calls while online.
This is your best bet. If you pay the extra couple of dollars for caller ID, it should also display who is calling so you can decide if they are worth disconnecting your connection for.

I hope I helped.

Answer 2

consider this.
2 phone lines about $40-$50/month
long distance charges
call waiting charges, etc. etc.
low speed internet.

1 high speed line $24.95 to $45/month
VOIP all included service $13 - $25/month
high speed internet.

do the math.

otherwise, check with you provide to see if they support V.92 internet on hold. when the phone rings and you answer, the internet goes on hold for a short time. If you talk too long the connection is dropped.
